Plot

David (Gabriel Soto) loses his wife Lisa (Laura Carmine) in a seemingly unintentional accident, perpetrated by her obsessive sister Graciela (Kimberly Dos Ramos). David becomes depressed to such a degree that he begins to neglect his children, Fernanda (Sofia Castro) and Bobby (Emilio Beltrán Ulrich), and the vineyard he loves so much. His sinister mother-in-law Lilian (Azela Robinson) and supposed best friend Juan (Christian de la Campa) try to take advantage of the situation to steal David's fortune. An unexpected arrival to the vineyard alters their plans.

Luciana (Irina Baeva), a cheerful and impetuous youngster who lived in the vineyard with her family many years ago, was deported to Mexico along with her father Marcos (Alejandro Ávila). This was caused by Lilian, whose goal was to get rid of the entire family, especially Luciana's mother Marta (Cynthia Klitbo), for revenge of past troubles, as she sent officials after them despite having their documents in order and were in progress of becoming U.S. citizens. After her father died, Luciana returns as a beautiful young woman, and disrupts David's life. In their relationship of love and hate, Luciana changes everything for the better and David starts to love life again, along with gaining Luciana's affection. However, with Lilian's hatred towards the lower class due to the fact that her husband cheated on her with a servant, Graciela's obsession for David, and Fernanda's dislike for Luciana, the trio plan to prevent Luciana from ever staying in the United States.
